After releasing Marques Colston, the Saints will try to replace him with first-round pick Michael Thomas. The rookie's arrival raises questions about Snead's role. But the former undrafted free agent shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. In 2015, Snead brought in 69 receptions for 984 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games with the Saints, as he quickly became Drew Brees' go-to-guy behind lead receiver Brandin Cooks. Also, in addition to his top-15 run-blocking grade, Snead graded out as the 30th ranked receiver in the NFL in 2015 per ProFootballFocus.com. As Score.com notes, Snead lacks the size necessary to perform at a high level outside the hashes, but his elite quickness and route-running ability have allowed him to excel when running short and intermediate routes from within the slot. With that being said, the addition of Thomas shouldn't push Snead out of his role as New Orleans No. 2 receiver. Instead Snead should flourish within the Saints' offense while Thomas adjusts to the speed of the NFL and polishes his skill set. Look for Snead to again draw over a 100 targets as Brees' second option behind Cooks.
